Reflecting sunlight away from the earth and poor countries might have the most to gain. i object to the idea africa should be a testing ground for their use. chief white house corspendent for today news africa joins me now. do the people of africa, you, do you trust george soros and bill gates to have your best interest at heart? >> thank you for having me. of course not, especially because of what happened in 1996 in nigeria when pfizer tested a drug on children, leaving many of them blind. geo...

Dont want george soros and bill gates to try the new technologies in their own country and taking them to africa. >> todd: interesting point about the baknow loos. 400 senior climate scientists said we should not be doing this geo-engineering, so why are bill gates and george soros pushing so hard in your opinion? >> i think, you know, as humans, we try to play god. we try to change the planet itself, even when we just because we can. and personally i like research and everyone in africa wants t...

Geo engineering has also sparked misinformation, with some social media users claiming that it does the opposite- contribute to climate change.

There's not long left to submit an entry for the UK's most prestigious green business awards and be in with a chance of winning at this year's gala awards ceremony

Different things talking about. carbon removal, setting c02 out of thin air, is often called geoenigineering but frankly, the fire main pad it is expensive litigation. there are cheaper ways of cutting c02 cheaper ways of cutting co2 emissions and we had to do that but maybe in addition to get to net zero emissions overall, we may also want to taking in co2 out of the atmosphere and then on top of all of that comes geo— engineering, solar geoenigineering. id make this idea putting particles up...

Also want to look into taking c02 out of the atmosphere. and then on top of all of that comes geo— engineering. so comes geo- engineering. so lets look — comes geo— engineering. so lets look at that. this idea fitting for example particles up fitting for example particles up in space or mirrors urban space to reflect the sunlight back out and keep the planet cooler. could that work? it does. it did. volcanoes have been basically doing this forever. so when it erupted in the philippines in ...

To use final disposal site so its technically possible but do we want to avoid more people except as a selfish course its. underground c o two storage has raised fears of earthquakes and potential problems with groundwater. for now at least the effects remain hard to predict. policymakers have been wary of climate engineering whether and when it might be implemented is unclear but what is clear is that if nothing is done global warming will continue with melting ice at the poles and increasing d...

Cure the problem but reduce the risks of accumulated co2. >> would it really reduce global temperatures? keith says the answer is probably yes. >> region-by-region basis reduce intensity of extreme storms like the big tro tropical cyclones that are so destructive especially to the worlds poor, heat waves and reduce melting of the ice caps. scientific evidence that these technologies could reduce risk is very strong. >> the problem is that its unclear what else solar geo engineering would do. tha...

The melting of the ice caps. so the scientific evidence that these technologies could reduce risk is very strong. >> the problem is its unclear what else solar geo engineering would do, that is the technical term for putting all those particles into the is stratsz stratosphere. >> of courit has unexpected uncertainties but the state were in has unexpected certainties. >> so should we put jet after jet into the air to release these particles? look, it sounds too good to be true, but sometimes tha...
